(Anthony) John Fox (born April 25, 1946) is a British statistician, who has worked in both the public service and academia.

He was born on April 25, 1946, the son of Fred Frank Fox OBE. He was educated at Dauntsey's School, University College London (BSc) and Imperial College London (PhD). He was a statistician at the Employment Medical Advisory Service, 1970-5 and then the Medical Statistics Division of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS) until 1979. In the latter job, he helped to set up the England and Wales Longitudinal Survey, which monitors the health, address changes and fertility of a 1% sample of the population of England and Wales over time for statistical purposes.

During 1980-8, he was Professor of Social Statistics at City University, building up his department into one of the world's leading centres for social statistics. He returned to OPCS in 1988 as the United Kingdom Chief Medical Statistician. In 1990, he took on the additional post of honorary professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

In 1996, following the creation of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) (into which OPCS was incorporated), cuts in the senior Civil Service meant that his responsibilities were widened to include demographic statistics and he became Director of the Census, Population and Health Group there. In 1999, he moved to the Department of Health as Director of Statistics. Due to further cuts in senior statistical posts in the Civil Service, he soon became the most senior government statistician outside the ONS.

In 2004, be became the "Change Manager" responsible for setting up the new English Health and Social Care Information Centre, which officially came into existence on 1 April 2005. This centre is an NHS Special Health Authority, so he and his staff are now part of the NHS. He was the Director of Customer and Stakeholder Engagement. The permanent Chief Executive from July 2005 is Professor Denise Lievesley, formerly director of Statistics at UNESCO.

John has published several books on mortality and health statistics.

John Fox (born February 8, 1955) is the third and current head coach of the Carolina Panthers of the NFL.

Fox was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia and raised in San Diego, California after moving there at age 15. Fox played football at Castle Park High School and Southwestern College (California) in Chula Vista from 1974-1975 before going to San Diego State, where he played defensive back with future NFL player & head coach Herman Edwards. Fox received a bachelor’s degree in physical education and earned teaching credentials from San Diego State.

In 1983, John Fox was a member of Mike Gottfried's University of Kansas staff, as the secondary coach. While there he roamed the sidelines of the oldest standing stadium west of the Mississippi River. He coached at the school that produced such legends as John Hadl, John Riggins, and Gale Sayers.

Fox began his first professional football coaching stint in the short-lived United States Football League with the Los Angeles Express. He entered the NFL in 1989 as the secondary coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, later also holding this job with the San Diego Chargers. Fox was the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Raiders and later that of the New York Giants during Super Bowl XXXV, which they lost.

In 2002 Fox was signed as the third head coach of the Panthers, whose previous coach George Seifert had led the team to a disastrous 1-15 record in 2001. Fox's first regular season game was a 10-7 victory over the Baltimore Ravens which ended the Panthers' 15-game losing streak dating to the previous season. Fox and the Panthers posted a 7-9 record for the 2002 season (his first with the team), demonstrating a drastic improvement over the previous season.

In the 2003 season Fox led the Panthers to Super Bowl XXXVIII, losing 32-29 to the New England Patriots on a last-minute field goal by Adam Vinatieri (which was also the margin of victory for the Patriots in their Super Bowl victories in Super Bowl XXXVI and Super Bowl XXXIX). In taking the Panthers to the Super Bowl, Fox joined Vince Lombardi as the only coaches to inherit a team that had won only one game in the season immediately prior to their hiring, and then took that team to the Super Bowl. John Fox took the Carolina Panthers to the NFC Championship game in the 2005 season, but they were defeated by the Seattle Seahawks.

The 2006 season was disappointing for Fox and the Panthers, as a team that had Super Bowl aspirations fell out of the playoffs.

John Fox (7 September 1904 - 15 November 1961) was an English cricketer who played 140 first-class matches between the wars, 46 for Warwickshire and 94 for Worcestershire.

Fox made his first-class debut for Warwickshire against Worcestershire at Amblecote in June 1922. In a 223-run Warwickshire win, he made 21 in his only innings and bowled two overs without reward. He then appeared in the extraordinary game against Hampshire at Edgbaston in which Hampshire, having been bowled out for 15, made 521 following on and won by 155 runs. Fox's personal contribution to the match was minimal, although he did take his maiden first-class wicket, that of William Shirley.

Fox played a few more times that season without notable success, and continued to appear sporadically for the next few summers. Although he took a career-best 4-27 against Worcestershire in 1926, it was only the following year that he started to play more regularly, appearing 18 times. He had a terrible season, however, claiming just four wickets at a woeful bowling average of 81.50, while his batting average was pushed above 20 only because of nine not outs in 17 innings. He did play two more games for Warwickshire in 1928, but after that he took the short journey to New Road to play for Worcestershire.

1929, Fox's first season with his new county, was something of a mixed bag: his tally of 505 runs was higher than the aggregate of his career up to that point, and although he averaged only 15.78, he did hit 60 and 19 opening the batting against Glamorgan in late July. His bowling, however, was again unproductive: four wickets at 71. This, however, was followed by unquestionably the best season of Fox's career: in 1930 he scored 861 runs at 22.65 and took 16 wickets at 28.37.

After this, Fox's career gradually declined. Although he was still capable of useful scores, such as the career-best 73 he made against Northamptonshire in May 1931, these were never very frequent and for the last three years of his career he struggled to push his batting average beyond the low teens. Nor could his bowling rescue him: he never again took more than five wickets in a season, and at an average of around 50 runs apiece he was simply too expensive.

Fox played his last first-class match at the end of 1933, against Yorkshire. In a drawn game he made 19 in his only innings and took the single wicket of Arthur Wood.

He was born in Selly Park, Birmingham; he also died in Birmingham, aged 57.

John Fox (June 30, 1835 - January 17, 1914) was a nineteenth century politician, mechanic and merchant from New York.

Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, Fox immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1840, settling in New York City, New York. He attended public schools as a child, engaged in mechanical pursuits and was employed as a master block maker in the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1857. He was a member of the New York City Council and was a supervisor of New York City in 1863, was a supervisor of New York County, New York in 1864 and was elected a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in 1866, serving from 1867 to 1871, declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1870. Fox served in the New York Senate from 1874 to 1878, was president of the National Democratic Club from 1894 to 1910 and engaged in business as an iron merchant, residing in New York City. He died in New York City on January 17, 1914 and was interned in Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, New York.
